Hawks-Bulls Preview

While the Chicago Bulls have enjoyed some big wins on the road lately, they haven't been able to match that success at home.

The Atlanta Hawks are hoping that trend continues as they look to move past their recent road struggles.

The Bulls will try to avoid a third consecutive loss at the United Center on Monday night when they host the Hawks, who have dropped four straight away from home.

Chicago (20-15) has won eight of its last 10 on the road, including a win at Miami and two at New York after a 108-101 victory over the Knicks on Friday night.

The Bulls, however, haven't seemed to play with the same edge at home while dropping four of six there. They fell to 10-10 on their home floor Saturday when Phoenix stopped a 12-game road skid with a 97-81 win.

Charlotte also snapped its 18-game overall losing streak with a 91-81 victory in Chicago on Dec. 31.

"We're going on the road and beating some of the best teams, then coming home against lower-echelon teams and not competing," center Joakim Noah said. "If we all knew what the problem was, we'd do something about it."

The Bulls will try to get it figured out against an Atlanta team that has dropped four in a row at the United Center dating back to the 2011 playoffs.

After winning 20 of their first 30 games, the Hawks (21-15) are mired in their worst stretch of the season. They lost for the fifth time in six games Saturday, falling 93-83 at league-worst Washington.

"We had opportunities, and just some plays went wrong," said guard Jeff Teague, who led Atlanta with 19 points.

Center Al Horford will try to help his team recover after finishing with 16 points and 12 rebounds Saturday. Horford had 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting and 10 boards to lead the Hawks to a 92-75 victory over the visiting Bulls on Dec. 22.

Teammate Lou Williams is looking to break out of a recent slump after averaging 9.0 points on 10-of-33 (30.3 percent) shooting in his last three games off the bench. The guard had scored 22.0 points per game as a starter in the previous three contests.

Atlanta averaged 98.0 points over its first two months of the season, but it ranks near the bottom of the NBA in scoring at 90.3 in January.

The Hawks hope to find a spark against a Chicago defense that has been vulnerable lately. While the Bulls rank third in the league in points allowed at 92.3 per game, they've given up 100.7 in their last three.

Carlos Boozer has done all he can to help the team develop some consistency, averaging 21.3 points and 10.9 rebounds while recording seven double-doubles in eight games. Boozer had 15 points and 10 boards Saturday and Noah added 10 and 13, but the Bulls lost for only the second time in 13 games when both big men finish with double-doubles.

Luol Deng led the Bulls with only 11 points on 5-of-14 shooting in last month's meeting with the Hawks, who outrebounded Chicago 45-31.

The Bulls want to bounce back after shooting just 36.4 percent from the floor and 2 of 11 from 3-point range against the Suns.

"We have to play with more intensity, more of an edge," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "We are not doing that. We have to correct it."

Bulls shut down Hawks in 97-58 rout

Posted Jan 15 2013 12:23AM

CHICAGO (AP) Tom Thibodeau sent a strong wake-up message to his team at a heated shootaround Monday morning. He got the response he was looking for.

Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 18 points and the Chicago Bulls held Atlanta to a franchise-low 20 points in the first half of a 97-58 victory over the Hawks on Monday night.

"Early this morning, Tibs was going crazy on us at shootaround. Just waking up early in the morning and having Tibs just screaming at you and screaming at you and screaming at you," center Joakim Noah said, "we didn't want that to happen to us again.

"We were ready for this one. We had the right mindset, played with the edge and we rebounded the ball really well. Everyone came in and stepped up."

Reserve forward Mike Scott scored 10 points to lead Atlanta as none of the starters reached double figures. Josh Smith and Kyle Korver had nine points each.

Jeff Teague had a layup with 7.9 seconds left to prevent the Hawks' lowest scoring total in franchise history.

Atlanta has lost five straight on the road and six of seven overall.

"This was very, very embarrassing," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "From where we were as a team to where we're at right now, we have lost all sense of team on both ends of the floor. And why that's happened I really can't put my finger on it."

The Bulls held the Hawks to just five points in the second quarter and led 48-20 at the break. Ivan Johnson had a basket for the Hawks with 2:54 left in the first quarter, and Atlanta did not score again until Al Horford's tip with 5:15 left in the second. The Hawks missed 17 consecutive shots during the drought while getting outscored 14-0.

They finished the 2 for 21 from the field in the second quarter, with Smith making a free throw and a jumper for Atlanta's other points. The Hawks shot 20.5 percent on 8-of-39 shooting in the first half. Josh Smith was 3 for 10 and Horford 2 for 8 in the opening two periods.

"The disturbing thing is the effort part. I shouldn't have to come out and coach effort every single night. Effort is what your being paid, to bring effort every single night. Maybe it's the chemistry right now," Drew said. "I'm going to have to do something to kind of jump-start us again.

"Right now we've flatlined. Not just from a physical standpoint. Mentally we have flattened. I've got to find a way to resuscitate this team."

Boozer had 14 points and Deng eight to help the Bulls to their halftime lead. Noah had 12 rebounds in the half and finished with 16 boards and nine points.

The Bulls set a record for the fewest points allowed, eclipsing the previous mark of 59 by Orlando last March 19. Atlanta's 20 points in the first half also set a Chicago record for the fewest allowed in a half, bettering the 22 scored by the Knicks in 1999. The Bulls also limited New York to five points in the second quarter of that game.

"We have to play a certain way," Thibodeau said. "When we came out I thought Joakim and Carlos set the tone."

The Hawks' previous scoring lows were six points in a quarter (at Minnesota) in 1994, and 25 in a half - accomplished three times, most recently against New Orleans in 2011.

Noah wasn't surprise by the defensive performance.

"I wasn't shocked, but our mindset was more be ready for the first 5 or 6 minutes of that third quarter. We had been in positions where we were up by 25, 26 points and lost before. So we feel no lead is big enough," Noah said.

Tensions heated up in the third quarter. After Hamilton was called for an offensive foul on Devin Harris, Harris pushed Hinrich hard to the floor as he was attempting a layup. Hinrich had to be restrained by teammates after he rushed toward Harris, who was called for a flagrant one. In separate incidents, Teague and Smith were called for technicals in the third quarter.

"We just couldn't buy a bucket and we weren't getting any calls going to the basket. I guess we've got to grind a little harder when it's more adversity hitting us in the face," Smith said.

Taj Gibson, who had five blocks, got fans on their feet with a thunderous dunk over Anthony Tolliver to put the Bulls up 79-47 with 7:13 left.

NOTES: The Bulls' biggest lead was 44 points. ... In the teams' last meeting, the Hawks beat the Bulls 92-75 in Atlanta on Dec. 22. ... Hawks G Anthony Morrow missed the game with a lower back injury.

Notebook: Bulls 97, Hawks 58

Kent McDill, for NBA.com
Posted Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:36 PM - Updated Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:36 PM

THE FACTS: Taking advantage of a ridiculously bad five-point second quarter by the Hawks, the host Chicago Bulls cruised to a 97-58 victory over Atlanta Monday. The Hawks set several records in scoring just 20 points in the first half and trailed 48-20 at the break. Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 20 points and had 13 rebounds, while Joakim Noah had 16 boards for the Bulls. Mike Scott, the Hawks' rookie third string small forward, was the only Hawk in double figures in scoring with 10 points.

THE FACTS II: The game got a little ugly in the third quarter when Atlanta's Devin Harris shouldered former Hawk Kirk Hinrich as Hinrich made a strong drive to the basket and scored. Prior to that foul, however, Bulls guard Rip Hamilton was called for a blocking foul against Harris, wiping out Hinrich's basket. Harris got a Flagrant One foul.

QUOTABLE I: "This was very, very embarrassing. It's time to shake things up. There will be changes."
-- Atlanta coach Larry Drew.

THE STAT: Here are some of the Atlanta franchise records the Hawks set in the first half and second quarter Monday; fewest points scored in a half (20), fewest points, second quarter (5). They also just missed the NBA regular season record for fewest points in a half, just better than the 19 points by the Los Angeles Clippers against the Lakers in 1999.

THE STAT II: The Hawks were two for 21 from the field in the second quarter. They had more turnovers (7) and personal fouls (6) than they did points.

THE STAT III: The Bulls won the game by 39 points despite shooting just 41.8 percent from the field. They set a team record for least points allowed in a regular season game (the previous total was 59 points by Orlando last season).

TURNING POINT: It took Atlanta 6:44 in the second quarter to score a single point, coming on a basket by Al Horford. By that time they trailed 36-17 and the Bulls had scored 14 straight points.

INJURY UPDATE: In the first quarter, Bulls center Noah landed wrong on a defensive play and twisted his knee, but returned to the game later in the quarter. Atlanta's DeShawn Stevenson did not play for the third time in four games because of bad knees, which will undergo medical tests Tuesday in Atlanta.

HOT: Bulls forward Boozer recorded his 20th double-double of the season and seventh straight.

NOT: Atlanta guard Harris was scoreless on five shots Monday, while John Jenkins made one of nine attempts.

QUOTABLE II: "Early this morning, Tibs was going crazy on us at shoot-around. Just waking up early in the morning and having Tibs just screaming at you and screaming at you and screaming at you ... we didn't want that to happen to us again."
-- Noah talking about coach Tom Thibodeau.

BAD MOVE: Atlanta coach Drew called a timeout at the 5:54 mark of the second quarter, when the Hawks were still scoreless in the period. After the timeout, Harris mishandled a bounce pass to him and let the ball cross the midcourt line for a turnover.

ROOKIE WATCH: Bulls rookie guard Marquis Teague, younger brother of Atlanta guard Jeff Teague, was scoreless in six minutes of garbage time.

NOTABLE: Daequan Cook scored his first points as a Bull in his third game, and finished with six points on a pair of 3-pointers... Jeff Teague and Josh Smith each got a technical foul, Smith's coming when he whipped the ball toward referee Ken Mauer after Smith made a layup... Atlanta has lost five straight on the road... the Bulls avoided becoming the sixth team in the NBA to have a losing record at home, raising their mark at the United Center to 11-10.

UP NEXT: For the Bulls, @ Toronto Wednesday, @ Boston Friday, vs. Memphis Saturday. For the Hawks, vs. Brooklyn Wednesday, @ Brooklyn Friday, vs. San Antonio Saturday.
